From the Depths of Imagination

There are no constants in this world - nothing remains the

same while Vampires,Werewolves, Magi and other creatures of

the night stalk this land. Only one mortal keeps a firm grasp on

the chaos circling us. "

TO the Horrors of Reality

The most difficult, most important and most rewardingIrole in
Vampire belongs to the Storyteller, the creator of the
Gothic-Punk world and the terror infesting it. To aid her in her
task comes The StorytellersHandbook, a tome designed to help
make her Stories into epics told throughout the ages.

The Storytellers Handbook includes:

extensive chapters on perfecting the Storytelling art,
including everything from handling settings, Stories and
Chronicles to motivating the-players to expanding your play
into the murky past or radiation-scarredfuture;

new Bloodlines and an army of other foes for your Vampir
to battle:

additional rules for combat, magic, flight and a host of other
dramatic systems
